Troupe Seven Stars started with Renaissance faire performers asking;
‘How can we do what we love even more?’
Established in 2019 by experienced performers, Troupe Seven Stars underwent the trials and tribulations to be considered a WRAES-approved Guild at Oregon Renaissance Faire, going above and beyond expectations to then be bestowed the renowned ‘Thistle of the Vale’ Award.
Troupe Seven Stars exists thanks to the hard work and continual efforts of our founding members and team leads, our patrons of the arts, friends, family and community support.
Troupe Seven Stars aspires to be an open and inviting community to those who wish to learn about the beauty of renaissance music and performing arts.
Having expanded beyond only Renaissance Faires, our group’s repertoire now includes Fairies, and Pirate-Appropriate characters.

Our Business and Finances Administrator
Jynx is a small business owner from Southern Oregon who started her journey with Renaissance Faires as a bar wench. She feels like being an actor is technically a move down in station, but she cares not as she is more concerned with creating the maximum opportunity for ridiculousness.
